this film is utterly terrible but slightly alleviated by the riffing of the MST3K crew. its really about nothing at all and contains long scenes of the planes flying around and bombing for no apparent reason. weird.

You know a movie is bad beyond belief when even MST3K can't make the film entertaining. The poopiesuit song was hilarious though, I must admit.

Oh, man, the Poopie Suit song had me laughing so, so hard.

That combined with the image of the guy with a cigar in the pool -

I hate that's it's so brief.

I wish that they had reprised it during the host segment or something.

Anyone know the words?

The film literally has like nothing going for it. There's no confronation or anything. Nice on MST3K though, thanks to the refueling and bombing scenes.

Mike and the bots had to work hard on this episode. Favourite quotes:

"Is your face lumpy? Mis-shapen? Join the air force!"

[When the mid-air refueling probe falls out]
"I'm sorry... that's never happened to me before."

"He must have broken the face barrier."

Here's the antenna. - "Stroke it!"

"Where the jets are hot and the jazz is cool!"

Regarding Mike's BBQ sauce

Frank: Is it bold?
Mike (in texan accent): HELL YEA it's bold!

Captain airforce guy:"Did you know flying a plane is like making love." Crow: Uh, you have to pay?

"its really about nothing at all"

I think you're missing the obvious: the Air Force probably participated because they saw this as an aid to their recruitment effort. To that end, they controlled the content to the extent that they sucked all the life out of it. So it's very much about something, only it's not what most people would want to see in a movie (i.e., no danger or tension). If you're an Air Force fan, this seems like it would be a fairly accurate snapshot of what life in the Force was like back then...

Very painful, but I did find that the MST3K crew made it almost tolerable. Almost. The riffs about the bombings were my favorite.

Those were days of roses, poetry and prose and Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me

Yes, it's good to know we'll be protected if we're ever attacked by large, white rectangles.

Proof this film is bottomless, primal evil....it's Episode 12 of Season 6. Usally designated #612. 6, and 6 plus 6. THIS MOVIE IS SATAN, AND MST3K KNEW IT! THEY'RE COMING! YOU'RE NEXT! :)

One of my favorite lines was in that bizarre restaurant scene:

Random pilot: "You know, my dad still runs a small dairy farm outside of Milwaukee."

Mike: "Name's Gein!"
